This is a big chain sports pub that is supposed to be an English style bar. I've never been to England before, so I wouldn't be able to tell you how authentic it is. But it did have the feel of a sports bar back home, even if I did come for lunch and it was almost completely empty. I ordered the fish and chips (¥600) just because it's the restaurant's signature item. It came with 2 small pieces of fried fish (I'm used to the fish being huge when ordering fish and chips back home). The 2 pieces seemed slightly different. One was a bit thinner, juicier and had a nicer crispy and thick batter. The other was drier and the batter was thin. Perhaps one was made on a different day. I'm sure there's many arguments about what makes a good fish and chips, but I like thick and crispy batters, so I enjoyed the one piece. The tartar sauce was nice with lots of veggies hidden in it, not too salty and not too vinegary from the pickles. The dish came with a bottle of malt vinegar to sprinkle over if you like. The potato wedges were regular salt seasoned chips (or what I'm used to calling fries!).
The Cobb salad (¥600) was fairly large, and came with thin slices of chicken breast (it had a curry taste, almost like tandoori chicken). The greens included sunny lettuce, shredded cabbage, there were mini tomatoes for colour, and it was slathered with lots of Cobb dressing. It was typical of a bar salad, drowning in a salty but addictive creamy dressing.
The music playing at the time was Jackson 5 and songs from that era.
